"Small...I'm afraid you won't come," Roger murmured with satisfaction, "I want you to know that my brother is not someone to be bullied."
Roger was in a good mood, but the soldiers who rushed into Kent Town in the hope of making a fortune were not so happy. After rushing into the town and searching through boxes and cabinets, they were disappointed to find that the entire Kent Town looked like it had been washed away by a flood.
It seemed like it was over, except for the houses that couldn't be demolished, there was nothing left that could be moved.
Not only had the furniture and doors of the house been removed, but in many places even larger trees had been cut down and chopped into small pieces, with no other use except for being used as firewood. As for the valuable things, even more
There is nothing, there is not even a grain of wheat in the whole town. Although there is a tactic like "strengthening the wall and clearing the field" in the world of Toulonzo, it is definitely the only one that can do it to this extent.
The huge contrast between expectations and reality disappointed everyone who wanted to make a fortune. Tens of thousands of people destroyed everything that could be destroyed while yelling at the enemy to vent their anger. Soon, the originally tidy Kent Town was completely destroyed.
"Almost..." Roger, who had everything under control, secretly calculated the time, and then issued an attack order to the soldiers operating the dwarf crossbow bed and trebuchet around him.
The dwarf crossbows and trebuchets have long been ready for battle, and their target is Kent Town, which is not far away. Roger's castle is nearly two hundred meters away from Kent Town, and the town is right between the dwarfs' crossbows and trebuchets.
Within shooting range. As soon as Roger gave the order, the dwarf crossbows and trebuchets launched attacks at the same time.
The giant crossbow fired from the dwarf crossbow bed brought blazing flames towards Kent Town, while the trebuchet threw a ball of blazing fire. Both the fire giant crossbow and the fireball accurately hit the target, igniting the Roman Empire in an instant.
The fire dragon blood that Jack had hidden in Kent Town was more flammable than gasoline on the earth. Once it was ignited, it quickly caused a terrifying fire that spread quickly in all directions.
The sudden fire frightened the soldiers who were still destroying and venting their anger, and they hurriedly ran out of the town. However, at this time, these soldiers sadly discovered that they had enjoyed demolishing the walls of the houses and destroying them, but in fact they were
Many escape routes have been blocked. In normal times, this would not be a big deal, and it would take some time at most to get out, but now it is a life-or-death situation where we are racing against time to escape. This situation is very fatal.
In addition, Roger also arranged the location of the fire. The fire was first burned near the traffic artery at the edge of the town, which made it even more difficult for the enemy to escape. When the rapidly spreading flames engulfed most of Kent,
During the town, only a few lucky people escaped in time, and the rest were all trapped in the raging sea of fire.
Under the influence of the fire dragon's blood, raging fires raged throughout the town. The soldiers who were besieged in the town barely escaped, and the wails and screams resounded through the night. Many people were on fire and struggled in pain, and then fell headlong into the same burning
The burning ruins could no longer be raised. More people were suffocated to death by thick smoke and poisonous gas, leaving their bodies to be roasted by the fire, emitting a disgusting burnt smell.
"Alas..." Roger, who was on the platform of the crossbow bed, sighed deeply when he saw this: "We have to re-select a new location in Kent Town. This place has been polluted by these bastards."
Although Roger set the fire, he has always felt that he was a victim. If these guys hadn't been greedy for the wealth of Kent Town and came all the way to trouble Roger, he wouldn't have had to put himself in trouble.
The town where they operated was burned down. So even though more than 10,000 soldiers were burned alive, in Roger's case they were only to blame themselves. The only thing he felt distressed about was the town that had been turned into a sea of flames, and the land that was polluted by scorched corpses.
.
However, what gave Roger some comfort was that because the blood of the fire dragon that ignited Kent Town was produced by the castle, and the soldiers responsible for lighting the fire were also trained by the castle center, the souls of the more than 10,000 soldiers who were wiped out were all possessed by Roger.
Absorb. With these soul powers, Roger was able to train many soldiers, which was considered a gain from this fire.
While Roger felt comforted, everyone on Alonso III's side was as cold as ice. Looking at Kent Town, which was still burning, everyone knew that the more than 10,000 people who rushed into the town would definitely not survive.
It was possible. No one, including Alonso III, expected that Roger could actually do such a thing, setting fire to his own territory with his own hands, and also annihilating more than 10,000 enemies.
Roger's methods made everyone secretly frightened, and many nobles who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit had to reconsider whether to go against him. And those nobles who rushed to send their soldiers into Kent Town to plunder
All of them want to cry, these soldiers are all
The family's wealth is now destroyed in a fire. This loss is really too great. Several nobles are even worse. Even the knights under their command have died in the sea of fire. Such a big loss will even directly affect the rule of this noble family.
The foundation of the territory will give them a headache after returning this time.
As for the ordinary soldiers, they didn't think too much. They were all thankful that they ran a little slower and didn't have time to rush into the town. Otherwise, I'm afraid they would be like those guys and turn into a charred corpse in the fierce fire.
.
In fact, the biggest impact of this incident was on the prestige of Alonso III. After all, nothing happened when Sutil strictly prohibited soldiers from entering the town, but Alonso III rashly ordered Sutil to lift the blockade of Kent Town as soon as he arrived.
, this led to such a tragedy
.This incident also made many nobles secretly question Alonso III, feeling that the king did not have the ability to command the army to win. For the Kingdom of Thorne, which was founded by force, if a king allowed the nobles to have such a method,
, that would be very detrimental to him.
However, the Kingdom of Thorne is a big country after all. The direct army of the kingdom plus the private soldiers brought by nobles from various places add up to nearly 100,000 people. Such a large number of troops also makes everyone doubt whether they can win this battle.
They were very confident, so even though they lost some manpower, the conflict of distrust of the king showed no signs of breaking out for the time being.
In the next few days, the Royal Guards also sent some manpower to help the Sutil Corps build siege equipment, which greatly accelerated the manufacturing process. With the completion of a large number of siege rams, siege towers and ladders, in a
On a clear morning, Alonso III's army finally began to officially launch an attack.
